A Pistol Duel Across the Table.

FROM OueJ9ng DUUS IN me army.
A few days after the battle of Waterloo a Mr..
Trevor and a certain captain, while at a dinner
party, quarreled about lady. The Captain
being a splendid shot and Trevor almost blind,
the latter demanded that they should fire at
each other across a table.
Some one secretly suggested that the pistols
should be loaded without ball, and this was
done. The two adversaries. who believed their
last hour was come, were as pale as death; but
if they were a prey to deep emotion, not a
muscle trembled ''Who viii give us the sig

THE FATHER OF BILLIARDS.
Mr.. Cochrane, of Chicago, Whom Every
body Likes to Talk to.
From The Chicago Herald.

From the Chicago Herald.
An old gentleman with white chin whiskers
and jolly smile on his face trotted nimbly into
George Slosson's place the other day. He
glanced around him with smile while dozen
voices said: Hello, Mr.. Cochrane," and a dozen
hands were stretched out to grasp his. George
SlossOn took him over into a corner and told him
about the big game and showed him new cue.
and John Thatcher got the short stop medal
out of the cigar case, brushed speck of dust
from the rim and held it where the sun would
strike it and Mr.. Cochrane could see it to ad-
vantage Mr.. Cochrane is the father of the
billiard players" He somehow seems out OF
his element at first. sedate looking old gentle
man among lot of youngsters, but after awhile
one ceases to notice the disparity of ages and
thinks only of the old gentleman as one of the
boys.
He is, said billiard player, "a fine old gen
tleman. He has been a lover of the game for
fifty years-he's close on to 90 nOw-and he has
seen every big game in the country that he could
reach. Even at his present age he would travel
bachelor and an owner of plenty of real estate,
and billiards is about his only amusement. He
is even more lover of the game than Judge
Gary, who likes billiards more than anything else

another one in a Michigan summer resort, and
every good player in town has standing mYl-

split between NJ. Tame and the Princess
Mathilde, of whose salon he has long been a

afraid that she would not read his judgments
with pleasure The princess very kindly re-
piled that she naturally could not Judge Ma

might have been selling oranges in the streets of

Florida,s Common Schools.

The report of Hon. A. j. Russell Flori-
da's efficient Superintendent OF Public In
struction, shows that educational advan-
! tages have contributed greatly to the
growth and progress of that thriving State.
One of the first questions asked by those
prospecting for desirable place for homes
is, What are your educational advantages
1t is the good fortune Of Florida to be able
to give satisfactory answers.
Florida has now 1000 public schools in
operation. This gives an average of fifty
one schools to each of her thirty-nine coun-
ties Estimating her entire population ct
$50, 900, she has a school for every 175 in
habitants. This is fully up TO her present
needs and indicates that those in charge of
her educational matters are in entire sym
patty with the most advanced sentiment
in favor of education.
The number of schools in the State in 1884
was 1,5O4; in 1883, LIZA, and in 1886, 1919.
The attendance in 1885 was 62,327 and in
1856, 1881 Three hundred and thirty
five thousand dollars is annually expended
for public schools, making the expenditure
for each child between and p years-the
school ages OF; for each child enrolled
s. 81, and for each child in daily average
attendance 81 81.
The Legislature appropriates a sufficient
sum for holding annually normal schools for
two months at Tallahassee and Gainesville
for the benefit of negro teachers, and for
conducting institutes in the various coun-
ties The institutions of higher grade, under
the control of the State, are the West and
East Florida seminaries at Tallahassee and
Gainesville, and the State Agricultural Col
lege at Lake City. There is also blind
and deaf mute institute at st. Augustine.
Superintendent Russell makes an earnest
appeal for the establishment of industrial
schools, where the youth of both sexes can
be trained in the use of tools Schools of
this character will almost certainly be estab-
lished in jacksonville during the approach
ing summer for the benefit of the negroes,
who have been assured of assistance from the
Slater fund, as soon as certain conditions
have been complied with
The people of Florida appreciate the inn
portance of common schools, and no portion
of the taxes is more willingly and promptly
paid than that for school purposes.
The common school fund is steadily grow
ing Last year the interest of it amounted
to S34,31S, or Ale per capita. A bill pro
viding for poll tax Of 81 as a prerequisite
for the right of suffrage is pending in the
Legislature. 1t is expected that it will pass
and that the proceeds of it will go to the
public schools
Florida is TO be congratulated upon the
creditable condition of her common schools.
Her wonderful growth and development are
largely due to them.

Our little Jim
Was such limb
His mother scarce could manage him.
His eyes were blue,
And looked you through,
And seemed to say,
I'm have my ayr
His age was six,
His saucy tricks
But made you smile,
Though all the while
You said: You limb,
You wicked Jim,
Be quiet, do.'
Poor little jim.
Our eyes are dim
When soft and low we speak Of him.
No clatt' ring shoe
Goes running through

Now wrapped in gloom,
So still he lies,
With fast-shut eyes,
No need to say,
Alas. to-day,
You little limb,
You baby Jim,
Be quiet, do"

CURED in my house few weeks ago. The per-
petrator was my night porter. was at the desk
one night when a man came in SO drunk he
couldn't sign his name. He was a travelling man
whom knew, and so of course decided to take
good care of him. John says to the porter,
take this man up stairs and put him TO bed, and
put his valise away in the checkroom' Just
then l was called away by the sickness of a
member of my family, and l thought no more
of my guest nor of the porter, whom saw at
tending to his usual duties an hour or so later.
But next morning a strange discovery was
made. The chambermaid on the second floor
reported that in the bed of room Is she had
found valise, and that there were no signs of
any person having occupied the room during the
night. 1t flashed over me in a second that that
porter of mine, who was queer sort of fellow,
had made some blunder, and l went up stairs to
investigate. There was the valise sure enough
but sign of the traveller. l hunted all over
the house without success, and had about given
up in despair, when l happened to go into the
check-roOm for something and there lay my
travelling man asleep on the floor. with valise
